A remarkable duel between the Spaniard and Justin Rose, the Olympic champion striving to win gold and green, went to a sudden-death play-off after both men finished at nine under par. Rose replayed the 18th hole poorly and García had two putts for the Masters title. Rose was magnanimous after a magnificent contest. It had come down to two putts on the final green of the Masters. A coruscating contest left them each with a shot at glory or a lifetime of regret.
